be almost tempted to drop fencer more then pike, fencer is not as synergistic as pike is to rifleman (though the defences are nice). Just remember as your leaving a melee player style to go to a ranged player style tactics and ideas are completely different in high level combat and you will have to take time to retrain yourself...
:smileysad
toh the fastest way to level right now is purely a melee tactic used with a ranged weapon

while it is true fencer defense can tank pvp a well equipped player cant be damaged by a fencer without the rare dot. say what you will even 400 damage stun battons dont work very well. imho drop fencer grab pike for pve where rifles cant touch it pike will suit nicley and the dots will do you well. also pike for pvp is alot better than fencer just sell some high end loot you will get for defense tapes and if you can keep some fencer defense. with fs speed and a few speed tapes it would be possible to just maybe do 4-0-0-4 pike and still be decent maybe a block of the third tree for capping block.
Perhapes try this right here
Keep your medic if thats what you like
master rifles
master pike
fencer 1-0-4-0
reason for that in fencer is dizzy defense which is alot better than kd bc if you cant be dizzy you can just get back up. also you end up with 7sp left so i just grabbed some more ranged and melee defense in the first block.

honestly fencer is better than pike for PvP... and the only thing pikes are good for PvP is DOT, area dizzy/KD...
i've been a pikeman/rifleman before... yay i cap block... but for PvP pikes have little state defences compared to fencer or TK... plus pikes hit the action pool if you use that attack, not worth anything in current PvP..
now PvE on the other hand Pikes are way better than fencer... AP2 kin, AP1 elec...

I'll have to agree that Fencer is better than Pikeman in PvP. In PvE, though, Pikeman rules.
